Existing drum sensors consisting of piezo elements applied to the head of an acoustic drum have not been perceived as giving a "natural response". After analyzing the wave form patterns from acoustic drums, Clavia has created a patented transducer solution using vectored amplitude measurements (VAM) .

Two other common problems with conventional triggers are: durability (when you hit them accidentally they can break) and unreliable mounting methods. Triggers mounted using adhesives can accidentally separate from the drumhead.

Clavias patented trigger solves these problems and offers several other advantages:

• Playing dynamics are recognized in a "natural way", allowing for a realistic dynamic response across the entire drumhead (from the center of the head to the rim). • Double triggering problem is reduced. • The special design trigger reduces the crosstalk problem. • Together with ddrum sound modules - crosstalk and double triggering are totally eliminated. No muffling is needed. • Shock-mounted construction. • XLR-Output for professional connection. • Fits most types of moulded hoops. • No adhesive is needed. • Safely secured at the hoop with a standard tension rod. • Sturdy construction. • All parts interchangeable.

ddrumTriggers add a new dimension to drummingIn the studio, for example, hook up your drum Triggers to existing acoustic drums and connect them to your soundmodule. You can combine great drum sounds with MIDI information almost instantly. On the road, custom-tailor your acoustic sound with the digital studio sounds in your ddrum sound module. Whether in studio sessions or on the road, the ddrum Triggers are the perfect choice for the demanding drummer.

ddrumTriggers - a new standard for triggersWith their superb tracking ability, ddrum Triggers set a new standard for trigger microphones. With absolutely no adhesives required, the ddrum triggers clamp onto the sides of standard drumhoops. The specially designed transducer is softly pressed against the drumhead. The advantages are obvious: You can change drum heads over and over without damaging the transducer. The metal casing protects the trigger from accidental drumhits. The ultra-light pressure of the transducer against the head prevents any "damping" effect. The XLR output ensures a reliable connection.
